Your health and wellbeing

If you're thinking about improving your general health and wellbeing, we can advise you on the practical ways to give up smoking, lose weight safely and permanently, how to follow a healthy exercise regime, as well as supporting you with any health or wellbeing related concern.

In fact, we can support you with any health or wellbeing related issue you may be experiencing. We provide:

  • practical health related advice and guidance
  • advice on contacting your doctor or other external health professional, and assistance to make a doctor's appointment if you require support with this
  • free condoms, emergency contraception and pregnancy tests
  • a wide range of leaflets about all aspects of health. Come and browse and pick up anything of interest to you
  • details of local health services such as GP practices

Contraception and sexual health

We offer a confidential sexual health service and there's also a Sexual Health Clinic on most Wednesdays in term time, where you can access sexual health screening, contraception and specialist advice and guidance.
